Abstract Increased roadway traffic demands have led to a notable increase of large diameter tunnel boring machine-driven tunnels across the world. The technological advancements of tunnel boring machines have made them a viable technical option for tunneling in difficult conditions in urban environments at ever increasing diameters. Such tunnels utilize precast concrete segmental linings. Although precast concrete segments have been widely used and designed in the US since the mid-1970s, the significant increase in diameter demands brings about new challenges in design and construction.

Exploring the spatiotemporal variations of UGS is substantially conducive to the formulation of land-use policies to protect the ecosystems. As one of the largest megacities all around the world, Shanghai has experienced rapid urbanization in the past three decades. Insights into how UGS changes in response to urbanization and greening policies are essential for guiding sustainable urban development. This paper employed integrated approaches to characterize the changing patterns and intensities of green space in Shanghai, China from 1990 to 2015. The spatiotemporal dynamics of the UGS pattern were derived through four main methods: green space ratio, dynamic change degree (DCD), transition matrix and landscape metrics. The results showed that Shanghai’s green space decreased from 84.8% in 1990 to 61.9% in 2015 while the built-up areas increased from 15.0% to 36.5%.
